their body, preventing their mendacious minds from focusing as easily, and denying their ability to
look away from visions of Hell. The effectiveness of your inquisition depends on your target's
current mental energies.

illuminate the room, giving a chance to strip the blackwind or astralform defences from adventurers
in the room. In addition, you may extinguish the orb at any time to travel directly to the room the
orb is currently in. It should be noted that the orb will only have enough energy to move a limited
number of times, and it will fade if not extinguished a short while after it ceases moving.
|-
| bgcolor=#CFA629 | '''Bloodsworn'''
| bgcolor=#CFA629 | Bond with another via a blood oath.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#FFCC33 |
: '''Known:''' Yes
: '''Syntax:'''            BLOODSWEAR <priest or paladin>
::: BLOODSWORN ON/OFF
::: BLOODSWORN REJECT
: '''Details:'''
The bond of the bloodsworn is one of the most revered rituals of devotion-users. When a Priest and
a Paladin feel strongly that they wish to become one, they bloodswear to each other, and from that
moment on, have the capability to bond their very souls to each other. When the BLOODSWORN ON
ritual is performed by both the Priest and the Paladin, their maximum health and manas will be 70%
of the -sum- of both their normal maximum health and maximum mana respectively. Further, some
portion of the health or mana healed by either the Priest or Paladin, when using elixirs of health
or mana, will also be healed on his or her bloodsworn. The hands ability shall also heal an
additional amount when performed on your bloodsworn. The bloodsworn ability will automatically turn
off if the Priest and Paladin are away from each other for greater than approximately 60 seconds.
As with many phenomena that grant great power unto the user, the power of the bloodsworn comes at a
price. While the bloodsworn pact is activated, with BLOODSWORN ON, the mana of both the Priest and
Paladin will drain away. Further, and far more seriously, if either dies while the ability is
active, the other will be critically damaged in body. Such is the price of power. If you wish to
break your blood bond, you may do so by rejecting your bloodsworn, but be aware that you will not
be able to become bloodsworn to another until the New Year. Note that this ability will not work in
Arenas.
